Slipknot OP trapper S Joined: Sep 2021 Southeast Louisiana	I am using Bridger #2s 3s and Mb 550s . I am getting full pad catches but my issue is the foot is locking up to the far right instead of the the center of the trap . Could my problem be that i am not offsetting my trap enough to the right of the bait when bedding my trap? I know this happens but is there something I could try to minimize this .Thanks.
